uk horror dominance

nta, but they do death game/elimination movies better than anyone. They also do well with pseudo-snuff, serial killers (although SK does it better), and splatter films. Of course, they dominate the weird space.

Yeah but a lot of the great ones are much earlier than anon is making out. 60s jap horror edgy af only the french maybe come close

'gento

Yes, they have.

I single out the 2000s for Japan because it was the J-Horror (see Kiyoshi Kurosawa) and japanese splatter (see Yoshihiro Nishimura and Noboru Iguchi) era. And we also have Takashi Miike that kinda blends the two styles I guess. But Im curious about your picks for 60s edgy Japan if you'd like to share.

I don't remember the name but the MC was a good boy martial artist until Keanu Reeves convinced him to do underground fights and he starts breaking peoples' bones and being a bad guy martial artist until he realizes he's being a bad guy so he stops and then Keanu visits his dojo to kill him and the MC does a hyper mega ching chong blast to cave his chest in

Anything by Teruo Ishii, who's basically a one man giallo factory, adapting Ranpo in Horrors of Malformed Men in 69 is one of his most famous, alongside his Joy of Torture series, but he was doing crime/mystery/horror since the 50s
Funeral Parade of Roses is a horror/comedy retelling of Oedipus Rex with trannies from a gay bar and breaking the fourth wall (I told you, they might as well be french)
Blind Beast, I think is the same year as the others, is about a blind sculptor and his mom kidnapping an s&m model for pursuit of art
It's also the period where Godzilla becomes a cute friendly monster if you've only seen the 50s version
Japan does enjoy a good mystery but the 60s have far more Ranpo/torture style mysteries, so there's kind of a lull during the period on the main detective series of the 50s and 70s (the Inugami family) in favour of things with a bit more bleh!

Man of Tai Chi?

Yes, that's what it was.

You guys told me that it was good, that it was the franchise going back to form.
It was mid as hell. Alvarez has a reasonably good eye and the actress was fine. But other than that it was a collection of cheesy references and contrived plot nonsense.
Also, I hate how they make the Xenomorphs as easy to kill as cockroaches. Or easier, even.

I'm also assuming you know things like Onibaba and Kwaidan which I maybe shouldn't

who is this

Malcolm in the Middle's non-binary child

I have been off and on watching through the 72 films in the Section 1 & 2 lists for the past few years. I have seen 65/72 so far. Maybe I'll actually finish them this year

I hate how they make the Xenomorphs as easy to kill as cockroaches. Or easier, even.

That kinda started with Aliens.

REMOVE THIS FILTH

At least it was a heavily armed and armored squad. This is a group of random 20-somethings.

What is some /hor/ aligned music

Picrel, but also I just want to mention bc I see people talking about them sometimes that Ice Nine Kills is absolutely terrible

pop sensation Skye Riley

She's incredible!

nta, but I don't mind them. They aren't a favorite band of mine, though. I do find it stupid that a lot of people hate them just for their appearance, similar to how core bands got shit on too in the 2000s.

I just spent 150€ in this record and I don't regret it one bit. Love scooby doo, love surf rock. Simple as.

Just watched The Night Eats the World, overall not bad for a one man show.

Also trying to remember the name of a horror film I watched years and years ago when I was younger, essentially it was about this group of people living together trying to survive after some sort of virus had spread caused by parasites I guess it was a little bit like The Thing in the end but kind of low budget. Anyway, the big twist wound up being the only thing that they had in common was that all of them were drinking or doing drugs the night before the parasites took over. their hosts

Yep, it was kino.

has anybody seen Cabin Anon lately?

Probably in a food coma or got abducted by aliens or slashed to death or killed by a cute ghost girl that he refused to make his gf

He should have just let her play her damn flute.

let her play his flute

True, haven't seen him in a while. Garlic Salt never came back after the site takedown either.

be cute shy ghost girl

new guy moves in across the way

send signals so he knows you're interested in him

try to flirt by playing beautiful music for him

he goes full sperg mode

yells at you

Dude deserved to die

it's possible Garlic just gave up namefagging and is still there. Cabinos sometimes goes days without namefagging but not this long

Watch Dead End (2003) and Campfire Tales.

Does anybody else like watching $0 budget slop that's just a bunch of retards in the woods with a camera? It's always absolutely awful but there's something charming about it.

I just hope I see everybody here in October. Last year was great.

yep

That's literally how The Evil Dead came to be.

Yes, low budget horror can have the most comfy soul out there.

I'm a FF Chad, so yes. It comes with the title.

its arguably the most raw, honest, soulful filmmaking the genre has to offer

I looked at your list, did not vote and closed it.
That is all.

Bleh

Try watching Arkansas Pigman Massacre, it is that kind of movie but nope, no charm there. It is complete shit.

bleh

You'd love this album then.

Dumb movie got me into liking the long nail bimbo look.

it was ok.

cutest vampire

sounds good. not really spooky though

What movies for charismatic vampires obssessed with spreading their foul curse to others instead of just killing/torturing humans?
It's cute and endearing

I'm pretty sure I've seen this lady in a ton of other stuff, but google says that's not the case at all. weird.

apparently it's dropping this friday

Isn't that the chick from Smile?

Ugly dog. Why do people watch shit with such ugly women?

More like Pron Queen, amirite?

is that like tron?

Are there any horror movies that don't feature any women?

its a Maika Monroe plays a deadpan 7/10 in a horror episode

no its the female crackhead from breaking bad (not Wendy, the one who crushes her boyfriends head with the ATM)

I watched an interview with Craig Perry and I'm convinced he's the person keeping Final Destination together. God only knows how terrible it could be.
Has he ever talked about why 4 was so bad?

anon has never seen The Thing

lol
lmao even

Has he ever talked about why 4 was so bad?

Death saved the best for 3D

Did any anons fall for the 3D TV meme? Was it actually good, or just overpriced gimmick?

The only 3D thing I remember was the wine cork coming towards the screen

4 feels like the shittiest CGI of the franchise
But the pool suction death is one of the best and unironically the most realistic of all the nonsense death traps, to the point it has happened multiple times especially to little girls who had their intestines sucked out by drains
